If you’ve been watching these videos and wondering either how I make them or how to make your own, I try and give you some idea of the equipment I use or have used over the last several years, although leaning much more on what I use now, having been a Youtuber for just over a year.

I mostly use the Blackmagic Production Camera 4K, Canon 5DMk2 and 7D, Sennheiser MKH416 into either a BBC Preamp in the studio or a Zoom H4n in the field, or a Rode Smartlav into a Zoom H1 or iPhone where more practical. Lighting is usually handled by flourescent ceiling strips mounted like Kino Flo banks, but sometimes i’ll use daylight and reflectors or 800W tungsten Redheads.
